Hans Tobel

Flute player, conductor, composer and music teacher

Born in 1966, Hans dedicated his live to all aspects of music. Being a son of a professional musician and a school teacher it turned out quite logically, that teaching music is an important part of his live, working with students of all ages, but teenagers and young adults are his specialty. Hence Tobel composed many works of music, including chamber music, musical theatre and orchestral works.

 

Tobel studied flute at the Royal Conservatory of Music in The Hague and the Sweelinck Conservatory of Music in Amsterdam. For many years he took part in a leading wind quintet and worked as a free- lance flute player. He also taught flute at a number of music schools. As a conductor he has worked with numerous ensembles and wind orchestras in the Netherlands. Working as a music teacher in a secondary school he started writing and composing a large number of musical theatre plays. A number of them has not only been performed in The Netherlands, but also in Belgium, Germany, France, Poland, Greece and Finland.

A number of chamber music works have been published by Tobra Music and by Alea Publishing.
